I think we should launch a series of probes at different intervals, all connected via a microwave/laser communications system to one another. That way
we could ascertain the true composition of our solar system in a more real time fashion and also allow comparative data from different
perspectives(different readings from different distances).

Im sure this has been mentioned in a thread a few months ago......

Eitherway, I will mention the same as I did on that thread.

In the late 1980s a book was published called "Contact From Planet Koldas", which is about a 20 year episode of an Earth person contactee, with
humans from a Planet Koldas, Anyway in one of the recorded messages, the Koldasian explains how they travel thru space.................Are you ready
for this!!! Note this recording was made in 1968...the book says.

The Koldasians told Edwin that they travel Thru space in their Electro Magnetic craft.......

VIA the Magnetic HIGHWAYS that exist throughout the Universe and connect one planet to the next, one star system to the next, one galaxy to the next
etc etc....
The said they travel FASTER than the speed of light on these highways..

Taking all natural laws into consideration we are just about to impregnate our neighbor and maybe creating our future rival. The Voyager-evolution
will begin in the next solar system it enters. Jokes aside, I'm thrilled we are finally getting there.

The first thing that strikes me is that something has traveled through these areas causing the particles to move in the direction of whatever traveled
through there was going. Is it possible that the Voyager happened to fly through the interstellar highways the various alien species are using to
enter our solar system?

I just made a thought... Think when we can finally use the warp engines and we can cover distances at a drammatic rate how emotional it would be if we
could retrieve voyager and bring it back to earth where it could be an exhibition thing...

It's really quite a coincidence, that our next big step, which is to leave the solar system, seems to be happening around......the same date that the
media is hyping up about being end/change times. Massive coincidence.

It sounds very similar to the magnetic reconnections which allow solar particles to enter Earth's magnetosphere. You know, those "breaches" that
are often misinterpreted as holes?

It's kind of suprising that this would not have been expected.

Ah, you are referring to the multi-dimensional portals that NASA is covering up, right?

Yeah, we need to do that before the Klingons blow it up for target practice...

3. Leaving the magnetic bubble that surrounds the Sun but not the field of trans-Neptunian objects that are controlled by the Sun's gravity. It will
take another 14,000 years before Voyager leaves the Oort Cloud and 38,000 years before it comes within 1.7 light years of another star.

4. The Voyager's engines will die in 10 years. Currently, scientists can still manuever the craft in order to point the antenna in different
directions.

I do feel this is signifigant... I mean we didnt know it was there, so that in itself requires further research. And just imagine if we can use that
to travel... maybe thats natures 'natural' solution to interstellar travelling... On another note, it would make sense that this is partly the
vehicle to moving all of the materials around the void, allowing celestial bodies to form. just throwing ideas around

One imporant aspect: This is a "layer" of sorts, it's not an actual "path" that extends outwards.
As far as we know it is one of the layers that mediate the exchange of energy and matter between the Sun's medium and the interstellar medium.

Again, this is AFAWK, but I don't think that this is an explicit property of the interstellar medium as a whole but a result from it's interaction
with the sun's heliosphere.

Interestingly, there is the theoretical possibility that this unpredicted ''Magnetic Highway'' could be in some way fed or influenced by the gravity
columns of a black hole, theorised to span more than the seperation distance between galaxies.

So where did all that black-hole energy go? Intense radiation, powerful winds and enigmatic magnetic fields are three of the most important channels
for transporting this energy away from the black holes. Some models suggest that the radiation released when black-hole systems formed in the early
universe is responsible for re-ionizing the universe after recombination. But to a large extent, radiation has very little dynamic impact once the
matter becomes very dilute. Similarly, kinetic winds tend not to propagate very far before losing most of their energy within the galaxy.

But enigmatic magnetic fields are a different story. Working with the University of Toronto, Hui Li of Plasma Physics and Stirling Colgate of the
Theoretical Astrophysics group have accounted for a significant fraction of a black hole ’s energy in magnetic fields. The magnetic energy is
carried away in the form of neatly lined-up columns of magnetic fields that propagated to a distance slightly larger than the average separation
distance between galaxies.The field ’s unique nature of containing a large amount of energy while occupying a limited volume causes magnetic
fields to remain dynamically important for a long time, perhaps as long as the age of the universe, according to Li.

Within a roughly 600-light-year radius from the center of our galaxy, there is a dense region of stars and the molecular gas that feeds the formation
of said stars. Prior to star formation, this molecular gas is pulled into vast molecular clouds that are pulled into two elliptical orbits around the
black hole that anchors the galaxy at the center by magnetic field lines that exist there. These two massive loops of molecular gas are nested, one
inside the other, but they intersect at two points on the galactic disc, and at these intersections both the molecular gas clouds and the magnetic
fields collide, changing the behavior of both. For the molecular clouds, research suggest these collisions cause the compression of gas that triggers
active star formation. For the magnetic fields, the flux in the magnetic lines causes a strange pillar of magnetism to arise perpendicular to the
galactic disc, extending "up" and "down" from the points of intersection (the illustration below, supplied by Keio University, might help you picture
this). That would explain why some of the molecular gas in this region might be pulled into a column above and below the neat elliptical orbits of the
main molecular clouds. But why the helical structure? It's somewhat mysterious, but the researchers have a guess. They describe this magnetic tube
running perpendicular to the galactic disc as being influenced by the frictional contact between the two main clouds (they describe this as similar to
twisting a straight string by rolling it between your thumb and forefinger; eventually it takes a helical shape). This twisted magnetic field gives us
the strange "pigtail" feature rendered above. It might be dismissed as a phenomena if two other helical structures had not also been identified near
the galactic center, suggesting that this strange magnetic behavior isn't isolated or completely anomalous. The researchers aren't quite sure what it
means for our understanding of the region near the galactic center, but it should lend some insight into the strange magnetism taking place there.

The case of cosmic rays is illustrative. Galactic cosmic rays are subatomic particles accelerated to near-light speed by distant black holes and
supernova explosions. When these microscopic cannonballs try to enter the solar system, they have to fight through the sun's magnetic field to reach
the inner planets. "The magnetic bubbles could be our first line of defense against cosmic rays," points out Opher. "We haven't figured out yet if
this is a good thing or not." On one hand, the bubbles would seem to be a very porous shield, allowing many cosmic rays through the gaps. On the other
hand, cosmic rays could get trapped inside the bubbles, which would make the froth a very good shield indeed. "We'll probably discover which is
correct as the Voyagers proceed deeper into the froth and learn more about its organization1," says Opher. "This is just the beginning, and I predict
more surprises ahead."
